nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Basically re-shelling into a 96 spec shell but the floor pan on both sides (where the seats go) are bent/sagging down considerately! I have my 99 shell here with a perfect floor, shall I cut out the damaged part and get it properly welded in? Any help on this would be appreciated as its holding my build back CheersNik.

Glanza-Ben Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 bit gutting if goin from a crashed shell to a crashed repaired shell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Nahh hasn't been crashed. There is no other evidence of anything out of place . everything lines up perfect on it. Plus it's even exactly on each side, plus the guy I got it from was gonna rebuild the entire thing and painted the entire engine bay and interior. So I don't think it's been in a crash but it needs to be fixed defoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 No damage to the front or rear of the car either all straight?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) easy enough to fix, get someone on the inside to hold a block of wood against the floor while you smack the outside with a hammer, continue to do this till its all flat then underseal, job done!
